Open network address (\\host\folder\file.ext) with LinkToURL UI Element

Hi,

in my WDA view I'm using LinkToURL UI element and GOS to display links:

1. website like http://www.google.com
2. network locations with names like: \\fileserver\foldername\filename.xls

I don't have problem with website as usual but I can't make windows network places (folder or files) to be opened.

I'm showing successful the network address in GUI application with SAP GOS service. The path for network locations there can be:

\\fileserver\foldername\filename.xls

file://fileserver/foldername/filename.xls

And it always work perfect.

In WDA if i supply path with backslash \ (like \\fileserver\foldername\filename.xls) it dumps with "500 SAP Internal Server Error: Error in Link_To_URL.....: URL is not correct (termination: RABAX_STATE)".

So I'm replacing the path with file://fileserver/foldername/filename.xls and no dumps occur but I'm not possible to open file or if path is of type file://fileserver/foldername/ I can't  open Windows Explorer. In fact nothing happens at all.

Please advise, what should be the format of path?

Best regards,

Kamen Yanev
